a Alliance and Horde novella\r\rHm, something a bit more interesting than an artbook...

But whhyyy? I already filed my leave for Sept 21. Why did they announce a date that wasn't real?\r\rIt was an "on or before" date, basically the worst case scenario. Nobody should've expected the expansion to go live on that very day.

Now that they know they're ahead of schedule, they can release it earlier. It's still four months away, can't you reschedule your holiday?

They said no later than, they have to stipulate a no later than date in order to sell pre-orders in some territories.

Not sure how I feel about them releasing it earlier than expected - leads me to believe they've mapped out 100% what they are doing and it feels clunky. Between Global Cool Downs feeling like total crap and taking the joy out of some of the specs I play then with the UNDERWHELMING reveal of Azerite armor (armor that feels like it was lazily done by a high school student that waited til the last minute to do their homework) yesterday I just hope this doesn't turn into another WOD.

To be fair it wasn't exact. The official announcement was on or before Sept. 21st and that was a rough estimate on their part until they picked a specific date. So the fault lies with you on this one for jumping the gun.
